Definitions

  • Monitoring device and monitoring method for monitoring a state of wear of a component of a reciprocating internal combustion engine
  • the invention relates to a monitoring device, as well as a monitoring method for monitoring a state of wear of a component of a reciprocating internal combustion engine according to the preamble of the independent claim of the respective category.
  • Lubricant flow rate is about 1.3 g / kWh and less in such engines and should not least be further reduced for cost reasons, while at the same time minimizing wear.
  • Lubricators themselves, as well as the procedures for lubrication.
  • lubrication devices are known in which the lubricating oil is applied to the piston passing through the lubricant opening by a plurality of lubricant openings accommodated in the circumferential direction in the cylinder wall, wherein the lubricant is distributed by the piston rings both in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction.
  • the lubricant is not applied over a large area on the running surface of the cylinder wall in this method, but more or less selectively between the piston rings on the side surfaces of the piston.
  • Tread and other components of the internal combustion engine to determine that certain properties of the lubricating oil used in the internal combustion engine are examined.
  • lubricating oil which, for example, in the case of longitudinally flushed two-stroke large diesel engines precipitates at the bottom of the piston bottom space, in a container collected and examined the collected lubricating oil, for example, on iron particles. If then a certain amount of iron is detected in the lubricating oil thus collected, this allows some rough conclusions about the state of wear of the aforementioned cylinder components.
  • the measurement of the iron content is carried out in a conventional manner with magnetic methods.
  • the lubricating oil that has settled, for example, at the bottom of the piston bottom space contaminated with many other substances that did not originally come from the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. So impurities are transported from the turbocharger system in the receiver room, which also contaminate the lubricating oil. Of course, a certain amount of loaded lubricating oil is always transported from the crankshaft space in the piston underside space by the stuffing boxes.
  • the lubricating oil deposited in the receiver compartment is always a mixture of separated lubricating oil composed of many past engine cycles, so that the lubricating oil deposited in the receiver chamber never gives an actual composition of the lubricating oil, as it corresponds to the actual composition of the lubricating oil in the cylinder liner ,
  • the lubricant oil deposited in the receiver compartment contains a whole series of residues which either do not originate from the corresponding cylinder liner and / or do not correspond to the current situation.
  • Another serious disadvantage of the known measuring methods is that the magnetic measuring systems used have a much too low sensitivity. As a result, relatively large amounts of lubricating oil must be collected. Typically, the lubricating oil is collected in containers having a volume of some 10 cm 3, which must be more or less completely filled before a measurement at all is feasible. Since, as mentioned above, the lubricating oil consumption has been very much minimized, for example, a modern large diesel engine, it often takes many hours in the known measuring systems until a sufficient amount of lubricating oil has collected in the measuring vessels, which can be examined.
  • An object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved

  • the measured amount of lubricating oil is supplied directly from the running surface of the cylinder and / or directly from the combustion chamber and / or directly from a piston ring package of the piston of the collector. Due to the fact that the measured amount of lubricating oil is no longer made up of accumulated and accumulated lubricating oil in the receiver chamber, only lubricating oil is used for the measurement that is directly and up-to-date from the cylinder space and thus not contaminated with foreign substances, the lubricating oil collected according to the invention essentially only contains still information that reflects the current state of wear of the cylinder components such as pistons, Kolbehnge, cylinder surface, gas exchange valve, etc.
  • a fast measuring method is preferably used, as disclosed in the claims.

  • the capacitor can be used in a conventional manner, for example, in an electrical circuit, which in addition to other electrical components still contains a coil of predetermined inductance, and so a resonant circuit of forms predetermined resonance frequency.
  • Such arrangements are extremely sensitive to a change in the inductance of the coil or the dielectric constant of the capacitor with a change in the resonant frequency.
  • an extremely sensitive measuring instrument is available with which even with a very small sample volume a very high measurement accuracy, also in relation to various ingredients can be achieved to disposal.
  • the lubricating oil can also be filled into a suitably designed coil, which leads to a change in the inductance of the coil depending on the pollution.
